Franklin High School South Tabor | Portland, OR Franklin High School is my first completed professional project. The experience provided a number of opportunities including the design, coordination, and execution of a small restroom/concessions building and a covered walkway. These prominent site structures required careful consideration of the historic building and connections to new additions. The covered walk was proposed late in construction and poses a difficult connection. The design parameters were to provide students a covered walkway between two buildings over 100 years apart in age, precariously navigate the tight existing site constraints, and provide solar arrays for the state required renewable energy. The solution incorporated laminated glass PV cells to lower overall structural weight and reduce footing requirements. This allowed more flexibility above the site utilities below and provided the client with and elegant connection between the two dissimilar buildings. By cantilevering the glass the design could extend close to the buildings but not touch. The restroom and concessions building is located at the main athletic entry to the FHS site. The design intent was to reference the sloped roofs seen on the historic building and add a contemporary version of a pediment. These gestures help bridge the scale gap between the neighborhood and the high school and reinforce the 1900â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architecture.

Tanzakademie | Painting in the Static Central Business District | New Orleans, LA Painting in the static was inspired by the choreography of Pina Bausch. Bausch uses different mediums like dirt and chairs on stage to force interactions with the dancers. This technique leaves the audience with a visualization of what has occurred. The concept developed around the dance schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two primary functions, a space for dance (performance), and a space for daily operation (service). The service space takes the static role defining limits to space while the performance space utilizes flexible dividers to create varying spaces; placing dominance on these program elements.

Hollygrove Row | Greenline Extension Hollygrove Neighborhood | New Orleans, LA My design intentions are twofold; increase green space as a public amenity and, accommodate an increase in density both enriching the economy of New Orleans as well as the Hollygrove neighborhood. The first phase of my proposal involves the construction of row housing along a vacant strip directly supported by the greenline corridor. This alteration to the typical shotgun house layout is designed to develop a new housing typology for the neighborhood. The design intentions were to minimized footprint, maximize quality of life (air, light, and visual amenities), and maintain a visual street vernacular. With an increase in efficiency a new threshold of density will allow amenities like the greenline to prosper as a destination throughout the city.

New Orleans Scale

Hollygrove Scale

The second phase proposes extending upwards to provide housing at the center of the block along the greenline corridor. The first phase of the construction will have been well established and the addition to the space will increase the value of homes in the area as a benefit to the local businesses and homeowners. The extension of the greenline towards the sky will give visual dominance and act as a landmark for the neighborhood and the city of New Orleans. The buildings themselves act as a local precedent for storm water management, increased density, and how residual space can be developed into a positive amenity that strengthens and connects a community.

Hollygrove Sustainable Home Hollygrove | New Orleans, LA The Hollygrove Sustainable Home was the final project of the Professional Concerns class dealing with Revit. The task was to design a shotgun house that utilized passive energy systems as well as working under a $100,000 budget. Our design combined two New Orleans house typologies by mixing a Creole Cottage type with the conventional single shotgun. This divided the space in the middle shortening the overall length air needs to travel through the house. A sawtooth roof profile was used to allow light monitors to vent hot air in the summer. The entire house was designed using SIP construction and each of the rooms are designed to be movable per owners request.

Doweners Public Library Downers Ave. | Milwaukee, WI The Downers Public Library fits tightly into an infill condition within the city of Milwaukee. The linear design focused on a continuous spine of light pulled from a series of light monitors on the roof. Along with providing light to the reading spaces most of the library functions were moved to the second floor. By devoting the most dynamic atmosphere to the primary library functions this space becomes the primary social space for the building. Multipurpose rooms and storage line the dual loaded corridor at the ground floor. Entrance is accentuated by a decorative zinc paneled zone, which peals away to create a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading room with portals to the street. Circulation upon entry draws visitors through the building giving the first experience of the light filled space above.

The site includes over 40 acres of total park headed by the Urban Ecology Center which acts as an entry point to the surrounding educational landscape. The building is placed between the urban edge and the newly developed river texture. This transition point allows the building to bridge the urban pattern and the river texture creating a gateway from the surface structure to the deep structure environment.

River Texture

My proposal for the site consists of six phases developed over time to reclaim the natural processes of the Kinnickinnic river. The program for the site development focuses on Milwaukee County’s interest in Urban Ecology Centers within existing parks to help with upkeep and to educate the public. Utilizing schema theory the site development and phasing is ordered to reinforce an educational landscape desired by the Urban Ecology Center. The first phases work to revitalize the river by demolishing the current concrete embankments and remediation of the surrounding soil. The phasing and program utilizes the idea of quickly developed “surface structures” which over time will transition to “deep structure” environments that allow the community to dream, learn, and grow.

The Kinnickinnic river deep structure revitalization project is designed to reset the landscape back to a natural process. This urban river site has been a danger to the community due to dangerous water levels and the speed at which the water flows in a rain event.

UrbanEdge Studio SARUP | Milwaukee, WI This project uses the concept of wrapping as a device to reclaim residual space. The site is a pedestrian heavy corridor between two blocks of UWMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus. Our intervention consists of using sod to wrap the existing built environment creating an edge condition and altering perceptions of the space. In addition to wrapping the walkway nine movable cubes were placed on the site to both reinforce the linear nature of the site and to provide seating for the newly created space. This experiment in guerrilla architecture proved to be beneficial in showing the public awareness to urban intervention and the resistance associated with changing the perception of space. In collaboration with Jason Axt, Gretchen Butterfield, Jason Dem, Jordan Donald, Lee Eckert, Ashleigh Fischer, Chad Haele, Jon Koskie, Karlton Lattimore, Scott Moon, and Maria Orta.

Cube Project SARUP | Milwaukee, WI The cube project was an exploration into additive and subtractive volumes, connections, and materials. The cube started as a 1’ x 1’ x 1’ cube. Keeping these extents in mind the design problem required the original cube shape to still be apparent when the sculpting was done. Using Notre Dame de Haut in Ronchamp as the primary precedent the sloped surfaces allowed for the extents of the cube field to be apparent with the maximum amount of mass being carved away. Luan was the material choice for this project to reinforce specific directions with the grain while keeping a slim edge profile. This planar design utilizes small brat nails as the primary joinery technique. The design provides the visual extents of the original cube when placed on any of its six sides.

Hephaestus SARUP | Milwaukee, WI Two types of surface depth and augmentation were testing using full scale representations of facade panels. The first project, Hephaestus, worked with creating depth in less than an inch of physical depth. Utilizing a laser cut line pattern, copper was annealed and roll pressed with a laser cut template to imprint the image. The limits of the roll press mandated a â&#x20AC;&#x153;scaledâ&#x20AC;? panel which allows light to project from the panel at night and allow light in during the day.

Shell Lamp Tulane University | New Orleans, LA This project was designed to test our grasshopper abilities by developing geometry based around a single point. The end result of these geometries were to produce a lamp that could quickly test multiple iterations from a root organizational structure. My design developed from an interest in shell growth patterns as well as directional shaping of light. These two elements formed the backbone of the grasshopper definitions and allowed these elements to be augmented by different sliders.

Iteration B

Iteration C

Surface Phenotype SARUP | Milwaukee, WI The surface phenotype project tested our abilities to create depth using up to three different materials. These materials needed to develop specific characteristics, phenotypes, that could heighten interest in the facade panel. My solution to this design problem developed around an interest in reflected light and the ability to change visual perception by â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidingâ&#x20AC;? color that reflect upon a surface. I chose to brush an aluminum panel and sandblast an acrylic sheet to reflect the colored light with different intensities. The end result developed a facade panel that could dynamically change throughout the day.

Network Basel Competition Basel, Switzerland NetworkBasel is a confluence of the physical and ephemeral presence in Basel. The project developed from mapping physical and ephemeral networks apparent in the city. Looking specifically at major tram connections and disjointed physical topography, the concept of threshold and connection was developed. By providing Wi-Fi as an amenity for tram users, the city benefits. From this amenity our pavilion will collect and display information. This information is a collective stream of consciousness for Basel, which becomes a spectacle. The three towers connect the topography visually, and each tower lights up on the exterior when sound is in its immediate vicinity. These systems strive to create a connection between the greater Basel virtual networks and the local physical network at Theaterplatz.

Urban Machines Marcella Del Signore | Gernot Riether Urban Machines is a book co-written by Marcella Del Signore and Gernot Riether. I worked on the research and development of the case study chapter as part of a graduate research assistantship at Tulane University. The case study section breaks down each digital system utilized to further develop the narrative of what â&#x20AC;&#x153;Urban Machinesâ&#x20AC;? are and the place they hold in contemporary architecture. The end result is a series of diagrams that display Input, Processing, and Output as well as explaining the specific architectural apparatus.

Tactical Memory NOLA Neighborhoods | New Orleans, LA Tactical Memory was a pamphlet created during my final semester at Tulane University. Developed as the final product of a research based independent study Tactical Memory utilized diagramming, mapping, and archival research to develop a plan for neighborhood archives. The research component of this project developed the tactical use of memory as a means to strengthen a community. Given the current state of many of New Orleans neighborhoods this project mapped three primary conditions of blight within the city. Uncommitted properties, Demolished Blight, and Properties on the Blight Demolition list. Using these three maps a plan was devised to phase in publicly sourced archives. Much of the research conducted during the semester was focused at understanding archives and the tools used to preserve memories. A series of diagrams were used to educate people on low-tech ways of preserving their memories as well as defining what could be archived. By educating people in the importance of their memories; neighborhood identity will strengthen.
